Man charged with rape after girl, 15, found unresponsive on porch

A 21-year-old man is facing numerous charges after a 15-year-old girl was found unresponsive and wrapped in a blanket outside her family’s home on Tuesday morning.

The girl's paternal grandparents told WTAE investigator Jim Parsons that she's on a ventilator, going in and out of consciousness, and her blood pressure is unstable. They're angry with the suspect, Michael Vallor, who they say preyed on a younger girl and used alcohol and drugs to have his way with her, but police say Vallor claims the sex was consensual.

"She was looking for love, is what she was looking for," her grandfather told Parsons.

"She was looking for somebody who cares," her grandmother continued.

Vallor was tracked down at a vacant home and taken to police by the girl's father, who talked to some neighborhood kids and learned where to find him, the grandparents said.

"I don't care if it was my daughter, your daughter, I would have done the same thing, because kids are innocent and they don’t deserve people to prey on them like this," the girl's father told Parsons. "He knew the age of my daughter. He never should have taken that road."

The furious father restrained himself from beating Vallor because he wanted Vallor to be able to provide police with information.

"People like that are just animals, and they don't care. They go around getting these kids, feed them the drugs, abuse them and then they lose them," said the girl's grandfather. "I'd like to destroy him. I mean, whether its my granddaughter or not, it shouldn't be."

According to the criminal complaint, Vallor said he and a friend were unable to wake the girl after a night that included smoking marijuana and drinking alcohol when they left her on the porch of her Bentleyville home.

Vallor told investigators he met the girl about 8 p.m. Monday and they smoked marijuana and synthetic marijuana, also known as K2, police said. They met up with Vallor's friend, identified as Daren Jolly, and bought a case of beer to celebrate Jolly's 21st birthday, the complaint said.

Vallor said he drank beer while Jolly drove them around the Bentleyville and Brownsville areas before stopping at a tanning salon in West Brownsville, where Jolly went inside to tan and Vallor said he had consensual sex with the girl in the car, according to the complaint.

Vallor said he then went inside to tan for 10 minutes and it’s possible the girl may have had some beer then, but he did not provide it to her, the complaint said.

After leaving the tanning salon, the girl fell asleep and Vallor and Jolly decided to take her home because it was getting close to when she would have to leave for school in the morning, according to the complaint.

When they were unable to wake her, Jolly picked her up over his shoulder and carried her to the porch, where they covered her with a blanket before leaving, the complaint said.

Vallor said they were afraid to knock on the door and let her family know she was outside, the complaint said.

The girl’s mother found her wrapped in a blanket on the porch of their home shortly after 5 a.m. Tuesday and called 911, police said.

The mother’s boyfriend, who also lives at the home, told investigators he reviewed surveillance video from a camera positioned on the porch and saw two men place the victim there and cover her with a blanket, police said.

"That irked me the most because, if it wasn’t for my ex-wife's boyfriend, 15 minutes later my daughter would’ve been brain dead. That’s the part that eats you up as a parent -- that somebody else could hurt your kid and leave them out for whatever to happen," he father said.

The girl was taken to Mon Valley Hospital and then flown to Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC to be treated for an overdose, police said.

Her father said she tested positive for alcohol, opiates and had water on her lungs, police said. She was also on a ventilator and unable to speak, he said.

The girl's grandparents said they had warned child welfare officials to take the girl away from her mother.

"CYS was called in and nothing was done. Mom just kept saying that we were out to get her, so nothing was done with that either, so now look. She's in the hospital fighting for her life," said her grandmother.

They said their granddaughter and her brother were allowed to live alone in the house for days at a time, and that they wanted her to come live with them.

"We love her like she's ours. We always have. She depended on us for five years,then after she moved back home, she still came and stayed with us," said her grandma.

Vallor was arrested on Tuesday and faces several charges, including rape, statutory sexual assault and corruption of minors. He is being held in the Washington County Correctional Facility on $15,000 straight bond.
